Welcome to our web site. We are board-certified ophthalmologists. An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor who specializes in eye care. Ophthalmologists manage all aspects of eye care from routine eye examinations to performing delicate laser and microscopic surgery. We are accomplished surgeons with over fifteen years of clinical experience in cataract, glaucoma, cornea and oculoplastic surgery. We provide in-office laser surgery for glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and other retinal disorders. We are on the teaching faculty of Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.  We are preferred providers for many insurance plans.

Cataract Surgery
A cataract is the lens of the eye that has lost its clarity. In a cataract operation, this lens is surgically removed, and replaced with an artificial lens implant in order to restore vision. The latest techniques in small-incision cataract surgery with topical anesthesia  are performed by our surgeons.
Glaucoma Management and Surgery
Glaucoma is a potentially blinding disease. When the pressure within the eye is elevated to such a level that results in nerve damage, vision is irretrievably lost. Glaucoma medications, laser and surgery can control the pressure within the eye and prevent further nerve damage. Our ophthalmologists are experienced in the detection and treatment of all forms of glaucoma.
In-office Laser Surgery
Lasers are used in ophthalmology to treat glaucoma, diabetic eye disease, retinal disorders as well as other conditions. Our offices are equipped with lasers that allow us to treat these diseases without the need for a hospital stay.
Treatment of Diabetic Eye Disease
Diabetes is the #1 cause of blindness in the United States for adults under 65 years of age. Diabetes can cause permanent retina damage, resulting in lost vision. In addition, diabetics are more prone to cataract formation and glaucoma. Our physicians are experts in diagnosing and treating diabetic eye disease.
Corneal Transplantation
Corneal transplants are performed for conditions in which the clear front surface of the eye loses its clarity.
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery
Surgical eyelid reconstruction is offered for cosmetic as well as medical conditions.
Routine Eye Examinations
Routine eye examinations are available at all three of our office locations. Our physicians are preferred providers for many insurance plans. We welcome new patients of every age.
Contact Lenses
We fit and sell contact lenses at all of our offices.
